Movie Review: Fever Pitch
Oh my. Maybe this is why I'm still single.Lindsey and Ben meet in October. He's perfectly wonderful. She falls head over heels. Her friends try to tell her that something's wrong with him, after all, how has he not been snatched up yet? But after 5 months, he still seems great. Then March hits. And he has a confession to make. He's a Red Sox fan. A big Red Sox fan. Like crazy insane Red Sox fan.
And so begins the love triangle.
Sadly, I could relate. He bought her a Red Sox jacket for when they went to games together. I bought Chelleybutton a Twins shirt. He taped a game when they went out to eat and made her cover his ears when someone talked about the score. I taped a game when I had to work and made my father promise not to cheer or anything when I came home half way through the game. She wanted him to go to her friend's birthday party. When the Sox were playing the Yankees. What?! My friend wanted to go out for lunch. When the Twins were in a pennant race and were playing Detroit. What?!
Yeah, oops.
I liked it. And really wish my nieces could see it. But sadly, they have to throw unnecessary things in there, so at least the younger one shouldn't. I hate that almost all movies do that nowadays. That was the one disappointing thing.
So overall, I recommend it. Provided you're older than jr. high.

I liked it too. (Did I tell you about it?? Because it seems like I would have b/c it seems like you'd really "get" it;) And I forgot the "other stuff" they added in. I may buy it if it's ever like $3 or $4 around the holidays. :) Glad you liked it -- and glad you realized you're ... a little obsessive about your boys. ;)
actually it was the friend who i went out to lunch with who mentioned it (when i said i had to leave early :)) ).
and yeah, i got it for $5 used.
you didn't know before the lunch incident that you were a bit obsessive?
no, the lunch incident was when someone mentioned the movie
